    Wednesday

    I'll just say this is also a driver for some people building large multi-TB storage arrays on their home networks.... #justsayin Wife and I were doing a leisurely rewatch of one of my favorite series when the streaming service which had it (Amazon) started up with the fuckfuck games.... One...

    The D&D thread

    And who said years of playing a bard as the party face wouldn't come in handy in real life?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I thought about this, but there are some NDAs I'm under which would severely hamper me from side consultation. The debate has been in my head of just going freelance as a "Rent-a-CISO" or "Field CTO" type consultant as I have more than the experience and capabilities needed for it. The...

    Yeah, and this was profit taking of 5% of my stake in it to do some things. If you've seen my other posts in here I'm far from a day trading or even someone attempting to "nail the top", and honestly just surprised that for once I did it. Just wish it hadn't been so the stock could drop 9% in...

    Investing General Discussion

    Well I'm trying to decide if I should call this a win or not. Wednesday I took some profits off my favorite tech stock, trimmed my position but not by a ton, so I could put some in a few other small piles elsewhere. That stock is now down a little over 9% from where it closed on Wednesday...

    So was there some huge tech stock news I didn't see anywhere today that hit? XLK and every internet/cybersecurity stock I have on my radar all took considerable hits.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Did you say "giant battery DIY"? Hell, I have been debating trying this here at my house if I could find a good enough source.. As for your thoughts... Enjoy the rabbit hole : https://hackaday.com/2024/08/13/from-vehicle-to-grid-to-diy-home-powerwalls/ And my thought was not an EV car...

    I have mentioned a few times that in my ETF blend for longer term holdings I have a decent little pile of URNM..... I have been very happy as of late with it : Even if it's taken a bit of a beating this week....

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I will admit I have been wondering, with my pending plans to eventually move away from town and hopefully built a place with enough solar and battery to be functionally grid independent how much additional solar capacity I would need to think about to also keep a car charged for occasional use...

    How convenient... It's just about yearly review employee self input time where I work, and you did my job for me. Thanks! Unrelated :

    Prime day 2025 - July 8th - 11th

    So far I've been really underwhelmed. Although they have a CnC I have looked at (but it's not my first choice) on for 20% off. Wondering if there are different deals hitting tomorrow.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I guess this is somewhere straddling between what I'm listening to and what I'm watching... But there's this guy who is a Gen-Z music producer who apparently had no exposure at all to music from the 60's and 70's. So he's going on this "I'm going to listen to this album all the way through and...

    Woodworking

    So, I'm gonna drop this here since it's what I'd consider "woodworking adjacent" , it's about using a CnC. I plan on picking one up soon, probably something in the middle on size build plate range (like 20"x20"). But the real endgame for me with it won't be woodworking, it will be graphite...
